Oh, my. I'm at a timely point of The Crown!

I’ve been spacing this season out because I binged the first three way too quickly. I forgot to watch my one episode last week, so just watched two in a row: Episodes 8 and 9.

Margaret found out about the hidden away cousins in 8.
The row between the Queen and Thatcher, how the press handled it, and the cutthroat actions of “The Firm” was in 9.

I can’t help but make comparisons to current events and wonder what is real and what is fictionalized- in both the show and real life.

It’s such a well done show and I’m thrilled Gillian Anderson is winning awards for her performance. Gawd, I hate Thatcher.

And I want to punch Andrew. And Charles.

She tried to change a little of the world with her popularity. Did a LOT for AIDS and helping children. She had a beautiful heart and they really trashed her. Despicable lot.

"And I want to punch Andrew. And Charles."

Be my guest. They could both use a bit of punching, imo. Especially Randy Andy. I cannot unsee those pics of him hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein and those poor girls Epstein was passing around like bags of popcorn.

It was to recover a video of (The Dummy) Princess Margaret having sex with a black man.

-- streaming now. I forget the title.
